My husband used to think 500+ was too many, so I gave a few away (about 40 I think) to the local hospice shop. Most were aluminium, so no great loss, but they were gone within a week.

I think I have around 480 right now, but we have a large double garage, so I can display quite a few (the best ones of course) on the walls. I also have two clothing racks, that take 70 frames each. One is for woods, the other for graphites. The rest are tidied away in a large bin (around 120 there I think).

Plus I have all my new frames (new, old, if you know what I mean) on the shelves of a bookcase and a few more hidden away in a large chest of drawers. Oh yes, and some in a cupboard....

Virgina, if you or someone else on the boards wants a Basti racket (which no one seems to know about), the one in the second hand store might be still there. I don't have a use for it since I don't really collect them, but since it seems unknown someone might want it since it might be rare. I'll buy it for whoever want to pay the price ($15? maybe, can't remember for sure) and the shipping.
